Yes, in fact in one of my answers I suggested using some of the Teahouse project and IdeaLabs solutions as particularly effective in reducing this unfortunate effect. I also studied this phenomenon in my book. Pundit (talk) 20:08, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

The problem with universal approach is that communities need to have autonomy. But I think you're right that it is a general problem. This is why I believe that the Teahouse project should be propagated to communities, who would like to have it (after all, there is no reason why not to allow implementation - at a fraction of a cost of designing it). Also, we could think of a more formal welcoming of newcomers (a separate role) as well as of mentoring (pairing more experienced editors with their less experienced padawans). If it worked on one larger project, it could be an idea to propose to others. Pundit (talk) 07:21, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

I’m Jethro, and I’m seeking your help in deciding topics for new IdeaLab campaigns that could be run starting next year. These campaigns aim to bring in proposals and solutions from communities that address a need or problem in Wikimedia projects. I'm interested in hearing your preferences and ideas for campaign topics!

Greetings! The Individual Engagement Grants (IEG) program is accepting proposals until April 12th to fund new tools, research, outreach efforts, and other experiments that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers.
Whether you need a small or large amount of funds (up to $30,000 USD), IEGs can support you and your team’s project development time in addition to project expenses such as materials, travel, and rental space.

You get this message because you’ve previously participated in the Community Wishlist Survey. I just wanted to let you know that this year’s survey is now open for proposals. You can suggest technical changes until 11 November: Community Wishlist Survey 2019.

You can vote from November 16 to November 30. To keep the number of messages at a reasonable level, I won’t send out a separate reminder to you about that. /Johan (WMF) 11:24, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for participating! This is a friendly reminder that you have made three proposals, which is the limit. If you have anymore ideas for proposals, you should find other users to adopt them. Kind regards, MusikAnimal (WMF) (talk) 15:18, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
